I'll see what happens when running MSI afterburner, to capture GPU usage and Vram usage
As I remember also having a FPS dip on my laptop, which is equipped with a 7970M (sort of like the m290x, without the boost...)
Both systems have 16 GB of DDR3 Ram (1600 mhz for the laptop, 1866 for the desktop)
In my case I can live with 50 FPS on my desktop, I don't know how much FPS my laptop will give me now though
I could live with lower FPS if it grants the ability to add custom maps
In Obelisk's case it seems his GPU is too old to benefit from driver updates, which caused the lower FPS to be less noticeable in my case

Yea, Unreal games are all nVidia biased titles
Meaning AMD cards usually have lower performance, until AMD writes a specific fix for them.
(also the reason I'm avoiding Gameworks titles like hell lately, one exeption seems to be Dying light, who gave AMD cards a nice boost, without a driver update, a month and a half after the release)
Gameworks and the GTX 970 are the main reasons I'm avoiding nVidia cards, as I think it's dirty play...
